FrontierTM Centrifuge FC5707 EN-5On each rotor, the maximum load per hole is stated.Figure.13-1 WRONG Figure.13-2 CORRECT (4 tubes)ATTENTION:Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of corrosion or mechanicaldamage.Do not operate with extremely corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor and buckets.In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!3.1.3 Loading and overloading of rotorsAll approved rotors are listed with their maximum speed and maximum filling weight in "table 1 permissible netweight" (See APPENDIX).The maximum load permitted for a rotor, which is determined by the manufacturer, as well as the maximum speedallowed for this rotor (See label on rotor), must not be exceeded. The liquids the rotors are loaded with should havea maximum homogeneous density of 1.2 g/ml or less when the rotor is running at maximum speed.In order to spin liquids with a higher density, the speed has to be reduced according to the following formula:Reduced speed nred = √ 1,2ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 x max. speed (nmax) of the rotorExample:nred = √ 1,21,7 x 4,000 = 3,360 rpmIn case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!3.1.4 Removing the rotorUntighten the rotor fixing nut completely (screw over the stiff point) and lift the rotor vertically out of the centrifuge.(See figure 12)3.2 Power switchThe power switch is located on the back side of the unit (see figure 14).Figure. 14: Power switch
